Below is a poem by Harvey Shapiro written in response to the murder of JFK:
Brooklyn Waterfront
National Cold Storage – 66 Furman Street – Brooklyn Waterfront
Sal's Super-Saturated, High Contrast Warehouse – Red Hook, Brooklyn

Sometimes I play with the hue, saturation and contrast to try to decipher these fading relics. Often I’m able to eke out a meme or two which may lead to a meaning, as in the recent Grosset & Dunlap Publishers posting. Sometimes I think I see words, like in this one- I think I see the word sack in smaller font as a pentimento bleeding through. Sometimes I’m just left with a high contrast, super-saturated image that grows on me. Any clues as to what this factory was on the corner of Imlay and Pioneer streets?
